Oats vs Farina

[The Hammer]

Which do you prefer for breakfast?

I'm partial to both in all honesty. But I'm not making that an option .

Farina seems to be a US thing. I'd never heard of it.

So oats for porridge then.

Fair enough.

I'm not going to eat either for breakfast, but either is fine later on.

If I had to pick, I'd probably pick farina(the sooji version). Last time I made it, it was in a recipe similar to this one(though I think mine may have also had tomatoes).

Sooji (Upma) - Indian Cream of Wheat

Why not for breakfast?

I've never been big on savory Farina. Or their coarser cousins grits for that matter.

I don't have a clue what farina is, i will sometimes have oats with honey. Mostly though, muesli, wheetabix or special k

Does that mean i should vote oats?

I'm not sure what wheetabix is, so probably oats. I was specifically referring to Hot Cereals .

I don't eat breakfast.

Gotcha. Oooh. No thanks. I'd be very grumpy. I used to do the no breakfast thing, but mentally I feel better and clearer with a bit of food in the AM. Even if only a couple hundred calories.

Ok, i voted oats
On cold mornings i will pop my cold cereal into the microwave for a minute.
Although wheetabix is available in America apparently it doesn't sell well. So it should be hidden on your supermarket shelf.


Edit : Weetabix sorry for my poor spelling

I think it helps many people to eat something in the morning, but I find it makes me sluggish, and more prone to grazing all day.

I think every body is different.

I vote for oats, mainly because I’m not American so we don’t have Farina.
